Molecular modeling of the bifunctional enzyme UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase and predictions of structural effects of mutations associated with HIBM and sialuria [PDF]

open access: bronzeGlycobiology, 2009
The bifunctional enzyme UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ ManNAc kinase (GNE/MNK), encoded by the GNE gene, catalyzes the first two committed, rate-limiting steps in the biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid). GNE/MNK is feedback inhibited by binding of the downstream product, CMP-sialic acid in its allosteric site. GNE mutations can result in two

A novel autosomal dominant inclusion body myopathy linked to 7q22.1-31.1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
We describe a novel autosomal dominant hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) that clinically mimics limb girdle muscular dystrophy in a Chinese family. We performed a detailed clinical assessment of 36 individuals spanning four generations.

Prophylactic treatment with sialic acid metabolites precludes the development of the myopathic phenotype in the DMRV-hIBM mouse model [PDF]

open access: closedNature Medicine, 2009
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV)-hereditary inclusion body myopathy (hIBM) is an adult-onset, moderately progressive autosomal recessive myopathy; eventually, affected individuals become wheelchair bound1. It is characterized clinically by skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness, and pathologically by rimmed vacuoles, which are actually ...

Hereditary inclusion body myopathy: A myopathy with unique topography of weakness, yet frequently misdiagnosed: Case series and review of literature

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2016
Background: Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) continues to be underrecognized clinically despite a characteristic topography of weakness with total sparing of quadriceps muscles and patient being wheelchair bound. We report seven patients of HIBM

Characterization of Cellular Heterogeneity and an Immune Subpopulation of Human Megakaryocytes. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh), 2021
By performing single‐cell transcriptomic analysis of human megakaryocytes from native bone marrow, the megakaryocyte heterogeneity is revealed, an immune subpopulation marked by CD148 and CD48 is discovered, and the potential function of immune megakaryocytes as immune‐surveillance cells is elucidated.
